Assistance Requested: Formal Debt Recall for Residential Account - Case # [Edited]

I am seeking assistance with a Formal Debt Recall for a legacy residential balance of $196.00. I have already escalated this via phone to a G-Bracket Case Manager (Case # [Edited: "Personal Information"]) , but I am looking for a Digital Care Specialist here to expedite the resolution.

I am prepared to pay this balance in full via debit card directly to Xfinity today. However, for the accuracy of my credit profile, I require a manual SIEBEL adjustment to officially recall the debt from the third-party agency (SWC). My goal is for Xfinity to resume 100% ownership of the file so that the collection entry is deleted upon payment rather than just updated to 'paid.' I am ready to process this immediately once the recall is confirmed in the system.

Good Morning, @User_PA_Account_Review_2026! Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to us here on the Xfinity Forums! I completely understand the concerns with the debt, and ensuring everything is handled accordingly. I do see you have the open ticket with the proper teams to investigate the options with the debts. At this time, we would recommend continuing to work with your point of contact as they are the right hands to fully investigate the next steps. Please reach out directly to your POC within the ticket with any further questions/concerns.

Thank you for the reply. The reason I am reaching out here specifically is that the phone support POC G-Bracket Case Manager initially stated a Debt Recall was not an option, which contradicts standard SIEBEL administrative capabilities for legacy accounts.

While I am waiting for the 24-hour callback from the G-Bracket Manager, I would like to initiate a secure Direct Message here so a Digital Specialist can independently verify if the 'Recall of Debt' command can be executed on the backend. My goal is to pay Xfinity in full today, but I cannot do so until the mandate is revoked from SWC. Could you please enable the DM feature so I can provide my account details for a technical review?

I do understand where you are coming from, and I want to ensure you have all the correct details @User_PA_Account_Review_2026! We are limited on our back end investigation here in the Digital Care team, and you are in the correct hands with our Corporate account management team. They are the team that we would reach out to on our end. Since there is an open ticket, and a request to speak with management, we would recommend reaching out the POC on your ticket and awaiting that phone call.

I appreciate the clarification, but I have seen several instances in this very community where the Digital Care Team successfully facilitated a Debt Recall in coordination with the Corporate teams to resolve reporting errors.

My concern is that the 'phone call' route has already led to conflicting information, and I am seeking a written record of the recall request to ensure it isn't simply marked as 'Paid'—which does not remove the collection from my credit profile.

Before I close this thread, I am requesting that you at least open a Direct Message channel so I can provide my details for a secondary review of the SIEBEL status. I would like to pay Xfinity directly today to put this matter to rest.

Was your issue resolved? I am dealing with this same scenario.

@user_i9ieyw​ Thank you for the comment. Unfortunately, the issue remains completely unresolved. Despite my proactive attempts to satisfy the balance in full directly with Xfinity, they refused to facilitate a standard 'Debt Recall' from the third-party agency (SWC/Sequium).

Since a direct resolution isn't currently an option through Xfinity, I have escalated this to the Pennsylvania Attorney General and am currently finalizing a formal report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding these business practices. I will post updates here as my cases with the AG and FTC progress. If anyone else is hitting this same 'Debt Recall' refusal, I’d be interested to hear if you’ve found a workaround, as this appears to be a systemic issue with their billing policy.

To the user @user_i9ieyw​  who asked for an update: Sorry for the wait it has been a complex process, but there is progress.

For anyone filing a CFPB complaint, be aware that Comcast is sometimes not appearing as a direct option in their drop-down system. I initially filed against Comcast and it was rejected; I had to refile under the collection agency, Southwest Credit Systems (SWC), while listing Comcast as the original creditor. The CFPB has since forwarded that case to the FTC for further review.

Current Status: > I finally received a formal response from SWC through the CFPB. They have officially ceased all collection activity on my account and confirmed in writing that the debt belongs to Comcast and they were simply contracted to collect.

However, the core issue remains: I was an Xfinity Prepaid customer. By definition, that service is pay-as-you-go, yet Comcast is claiming a 'previous balance' of nearly $200 from 2021. I have had an active request for an itemized ledger with a Comcast Executive Case Manager since April 8th, but my requests for basic transparency have been ignored for nearly two weeks.

It is concerning that Comcast continues to claim a debt is valid while simultaneously failing to produce a simple itemized breakdown of charges for a prepaid account. With the April 23rd FCC deadline approaching, I am still waiting for the Executive Team to provide the proof they are legally required to maintain.

If @XfinityThomasA @XfinityAdrienne or any Official Employee on this forum can look into why an Executive Case Manager is withholding billing ledgers for a prepaid dispute, I would appreciate the oversight. I will continue to update as the FTC and FCC investigations proceed.

@User_PA_Account_Review_2026

Thank you for sharing such a detailed update on your experience. We understand how frustrating it can be to receive conflicting information, especially regarding an account that was enrolled in a prepaid service.

To clarify, while Xfinity Prepaid is a pay‑as‑you‑go product, there are limited scenarios where a balance may still appear on a customer’s profile (for example, charges associated with equipment, unreturned devices, or activity tied to a prior postpaid account under the same customer record). That said, we agree that any claimed balance, prepaid or otherwise, should be supported by clear documentation.

It is encouraging to hear that Southwest Credit Systems has confirmed in writing that they have ceased collection activity. Since Comcast is identified as the original creditor, the responsibility for providing an itemized billing ledger does rest with us.

 

Executive Case Managers typically handle disputes in the order received and may be coordinating with internal billing, legal, or records teams to retrieve historical data, especially for accounts dating back several years. However, a two‑week delay without updates is not the experience we intend to provide.

 

Because your case is already under review through executive channels and is now associated with active regulatory filings, we can check on that status or help with any next steps. To do so please send us a direct message with your full name to get started.
